One day I will likely need svnrdump:
Since I keep forgetting what the tool is called and how to use it: svnrdump is a tool that can dump a remote svn repostory to a text file and also load that text file into a different remote svn repository…

Via [WayBack] Determining the ESXi installation type (2014558) | VMware KB
# esxcfg-info -e
boot type: visor-usb
That’s on my X10SRH-CF system which runs from USB.
Values you can get:
visor-pxe indicates a PXE deploymentvisor-thin indicates an installable deploymentvisor-usb indicates an embedded deploymentIf your installation is visor-thin based (running from hard-disk), then you can convert it to visor-usb; the steps are at [WayBack] visor-thin & vsantraces – Hypervisor.fr (in French, but Google Translate is quite OK). It skips a few of the steps mentioned in [WayBack] How To Backup & Restore Free ESXi Host Configuration | virtuallyGhetto, so for saving your current config it’s best to follow these steps:
vim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/sync_configvim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/backup_config/scratch/downloads (a UUID directory under it)to a safe locationvim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_entershutdown/tmp/configBundle.tgzvim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/restore_config /tmp/configBundle.tgzreboot–jeroen

I wasn’t aware that IPMI more recent than 3.3 also supports virtual media, but in retrospect it’s very logical it does. When managing remote machines, you don’t walk up to it to switch physical media (:
Worked splendid on my X10SRH-CF based server, and even supports SMB based network shares.
The how-to is very simple, steps are for instance at these links:
Note: the for IPMI mounted ISO images, I found out that they will not work in UEFI mode and that you have to switch your BIOS back to LEGACY boot mode:

Ook voor brussen (boers/zussen):
De meeste ouders van een kind met een verstandelijke of meervoudige beperking komen meer dan eens voor een medische beslissing te staan voor hun kind. Wat kan en mag je als ouder/verzorger? Wat kan en mag een arts? Hoe ga je samen in gesprek en wat zegt de wet hierover? Hierover gaat het boek “Als je niet zelf kan beslissen”.

Quoting the answer in full because it so tremendously useful [WayBack] batch file – SHIFT doesn’t affect %* – Stack Overflow.
Especially the quoting/dequoting bits and the clever trick reconstructing %* into a batch file variable (minus double spaces).
Thanks so much James-K!
As you know,
shifthas no effect on%*, but you can construct a%*equivalent.We’ll call the following
line.bat:@echo off set line=%1 :loop shift if not "%1"=="" ( set line=%line% %1 goto :loop ) echo %%* = %* echo line = %line%If you type in the following command (Notice the double space between 3 and 4) :
line 1 2 3 4 bla dee dahYou will get the following output :
%* = 1 2 3 4 bla dee dah line = 1 2 3 4 bla dee dahNote that
%*retains multiple spaces, while using the%nnotation does not.
Using something like this, you can allow your users to put their parameters in any order.
:loop :: Single variable parameters if "%1"=="something" set something=true :: Multi variable parameters if "%~1"=="/source" shift & set source=%1 shift if not "%~1"=="" goto :loopNotice that in the Multi-variable parameter statement I include one
shiftstatement and onesetstatement separated by an ampersand (&). The&tells the command processor that a separate command to be executed follows.
EDIT:
FYI: I recommend double quotes when checking the contents of variables. Usually you can use anycharacter, and you don’t even need to use two because they are just there to insure that an empty variable does not cause an error. For instance, when
%1is empty and you doif not hello==%1 call :subthe command processor will see thisif not hello== call :suband comparehellotocallthen try to execute:sub, and throw an error. In that specific caseif not xhello==x%1 call :subis just as good asif not "hello"=="%1" call :sub, because an empty%1will cause the command processor to seeif not xhello==x call :sub.BUT using characters other than double-quotes will cause problems if the variable contains any special characters.
Using brackets as variable delimiters like (%1) can cause problems. For instance, the (special) piping characters don’t play nice inside brackets, and the escape character just seems to disappear, neither acting as a normal character, nor as the escape-character.
Also brackets are special characters in and of themselves designed to group and/or separate different lines of code and may not always act as anticipated.
Lastly, double quotes themselves are special characters specifically designed to surround other special characters, allowing them to act as normal characters. This is why you may see variables unquoted, then quoted again, like so.
set var="%~1" & REM This sort of thing is used to insure that a variable is quoted. REM %~1 unquotes %1 if it is already quoted, and leaves it alone if REM %1 is not quoted. set "var=%~1" & REM This code assumes that `%1` contains special characters and REM like before unquotes a quoted %1, but leaves the variable itself REM unquoted. The double-quotes surrounding the variable and data REM protects the command processor from any special characters that REM exist in the data. Remember that anytime you reference `%var%`, REM you will need to also surround the variable and data with REM double-quotes.A quick check for quotes is
if exist %1 if %1==%~1 echo Unquoted.
